The Montgomery County Board of Elections has polling equipment ready for 141 polling locations across the county.
Over 1,600 volunteers will help run these polling locations, according to Jeff Rezabek of the Montgomery County Board of Elections.
Election officials are expecting a heavy voter turnout.
“Whether it’s the governor’s race from the Republican side, or the Secretary of State race, it all seems to be pushing the voters out there a bit,” said Rezabek. “We do think the increase is from some of the local issues out there driving it up.”
Voters will determine the outcome of several school levies and police levies.
They will also decide the candidates for Ohio governor, lieutenant governor, and the U.S. Senate.
Absentee ballots must be hand-delivered to the board of elections on Third Street in Montgomery County before 7:30 p.m. tonight to be counted.
